Following an absolutely abominable 5-0 loss to the Pirates this afternoon, in which they got shut out while leaving 15 runners on base, the Braves are now 18-18. By now, I'm sure you've heard that they are 14-4 at home and 4-14 on the road. They're also 1-5 against the Pirates, a team against whom they suck for no apparent reason.
It's rainy and cold in Pittsburgh -- it seems to be rainy and cold everywhere. Jair Jurrjens was blowing on his hands a lot. Greg Norton is playing first base for Mark Teixeira, and I'm sure Scott Boras will find a way to turn that into positive spin.
The Braves are on the verge of being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Let's think about that for a second, guys. Don't do it.
